Xylie, sorry to hear about you and your husband. Hope your doing better, my prayers are with both of you.
I'm going to try black eyed peas this week as my new veggie. I've never had them so here goes.
I have to go, God Bless everyone. Hubby and I have an appointment at the Senior Center to get our POA's done. Have a great day everyone.

Cindy, my FQ is on my cutting table. I haven't remembered to take it with me this week and now my car has a flat tire. I haven't seen a totally flat tire in years. I'll get the FQ out sometime this weekend. I think my mindset is mailed by the 10th, which I need to change.
I typed a long post last night and it disappeared.
Xylie, I'm sorry to hear of your problems. You and your husband have had a rough year. I will add my prayers ro others that it will you will regain your health and your strength. Please continue to post - we need you.
I can't find the Women's World magazine with the article about feasting every five days. You can Google 'Joel Marion' and ignore the references to weight lifting to get the science behind the theory. He uses foods like pizza and ice cream as feast food once a week to reset the gherlin levels and take the body out of starvation mode. I've read it on Dr Oz's web site and today's show will be on the subject from the looks of the promos. I think it takes an extra 500 calories, but I'll check it out now that my quilts are under control.
The Spicy Spiral runner for the Cystic Fibrosis auction has been delivered. It will have a minimum price of $60. It's nice when your work is appreciated. The flannel quilt for the shelter auction has moved on to the person who will do the binding. The FMQ is finished. Woohoo! And my machine is delinted and ready to get back to my daughter's quilt.
I am so happy I get to stay home today, though I do have GSs to transport this evening. If my mechanic doesn't show up, I'll have to drive my daughter's car. It's icy and slippery so I'd rather have my own car, but whatever. Years ago, I had serious agoraphobia. I made myself recover because I couldn't stand how it was impacting my daughters' lives. I still am happier at home and away from crowds so weeks like this one are hard.
Laundry is started and I can't vacuum until I need to stop listening for a truck, so I may as well go quilt. Whoops, I have to fold clothes first. Not a favorite job, but the rocker my grandparents brought from Ireland doesn't deserve to be buried in clothes. Oh, and clean off the cutting table. The Spicy Spiral leaves some strange scraps. I may need to make crazy quilt potholders for the church bazaar.
I am losing weight and becoming healthier.

I finally learned how to cook a tasty, moist chicken breast. Simply marinate for a few hours in chicken broth. I cook on the stove in a pan sprayed with Pam. What a difference!

After much agonizing over the choice, I've finally selected one! It's pressed and ready to mail. I'll make a trek to the Post Office as soon as I can. (:
Yikes!!! I just read and, I didn't realize there was a deadline of the 10th!

Let me know when you mail it. I would like by the 10th but understand that life can get in the way sometimes.

Ok, got to the Post Office this afternoon.
Now, just to be sure for the future, are we suppose to mail by 10th, or you receive it by the 10th?
Thanks! (:

Last night I made the Too Good to be True Stew. Oh my, it was so good! My husband liked it better than my chili, which is saying a lot! I bought a small head of cabbage instead of the coleslaw mix. A little extra cabbage can't hurt anything! http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recip...?recipe=856551
I also spent some time looking at recipes on skinnytaste.com. She has a lot of recipes that look really good and she also includes the ww points.
